The examiner expects you to recall that xylem transports water and minerals, while phloem transports food (soluble products of photosynthesis) — this movement of food through phloem is called translocation. Do not confuse with transpiration (loss of water vapour) or osmosis (movement of water across a membrane). For a 1-mark MCQ, simply writing the option letter and term is sufficient.
